Twenty-four years ago, Kevin Keegan gave one of the most famous post-match interviews of the Premier League era - but what caused the Newcastle manager's outburst in the first place?
After witnessing Newcastle beat Leeds United on 30 April 1996, Keegan, in a televised outburst, accused Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson of trying to provoke the Leeds players, adding that he "will love it if we beat them" to the championship. Ferguson, who accused Leeds of "cheating" their manager in their performance at Old Trafford two weeks earlier, was perceived by the press as playing a mind game against his opposition. Newcastle finished second in the league that season, four points behind Manchester United, which prompted Keegan to offer his resignation, which was rejected, in the summer.
